Subject: Interesting era and content
But, knowing a bit of how govt works & what McCarthy was doing- I had to disagree strongly with much of the sentiment. McCarthy was proven not only right, but that the communist infiltration was much worse than feared at the time. Unfortunately, the HUAC group were ridiculed, jeered, and basically not believed until the files released in 1990s (that no one saw or heard of) that completely exonerated McCarthy and his "witch hunters". The entertainment industry has many great speakers, Will Geer being one, that spread a campaign of anti-gov propaganda that sounded very good. Too bad there are not enough popular titles to give the "other side of the story". Instead, we're left with fun reads like this one, that are simply not the facts. I did however enjoy reading of Old Hollywood, a guilty pleasure of mine.
